I don't about ice, but in general kevlar is lighter and more impact resistant than fiberglass, but more susceptible to scratching and abrasion.
Yes Kevlar was specifically incorporated into the boats for the reason of breaking ice without causing structural issues. Jeff is correct lighter and more impact resistant this was the modern-day "impact innegra" mentioned earlier of it's time.
