Not a good idea about shoving ice under the hole. Two reasons 9 years ago an extemely talented instructor was drowned by his student when he went under to untangle the line from a block they had pushed under and the line became entangled. Double funeral was the outcome.
Second if you pull the blocks out they can be replaced into the hole, This adds safety to people using the lake for other recreational activities with out a open or thin ice scenario. Snowmobiling ice fishing, pets running around on the lake. The blocks refreeze giving a safety margin to somebody that inadvertently ventures to that area. More work removing the ice overall is safety increased.
