I'll agree with the traction but you aren't banging your head or body off of ice or plexiglass in football either. Both are violent sports for sure.
The real answer is Aussie rules football. It's a wonder those guys aren't dying left and right when you look at what they put their bodies through.

True, that's like two hits in one basically. Plus, the boards aren't moving, so if you get hit into the glass, there's not much give, if at all. You're getting pretty well crushed in those instances.

Hockey is definitely a violent sport, but IMO is less violent than football. Football has collisions on every play, they are far less common in hockey.
Also, hockey is just a much less popular sport so it gets less coverage. In 2013, 46 of the 50 most-watches sporting events were NFL games and one was the college fb national championship. So only 3 of the top 50 were non-football, and zero were hockey. Even when you look at the top 50 non-NFL broadcasts, only one is NHL.
