It's red maple. But if you can show me some curly hickory, I'll think twice.
Disregard the bark. Red / Swamp maple is a notorious chameleon.
The pictures of the split piece tells the truth.
Here's a link to prove my claims.
CHECK THIS BARK.
Nope sorry.Any leaves still stuck on old branches laying around?

Bark looked just like that. The rest of the trees on the street looked exactly like this pic. The pic says it's of a Sugar Maple, but the bark has a silver tint to it. Now, I don't know why Silver Maple is called "Silver" Maple, but it's a little confusing.
I can see why there's folks that think it's hickory. They don't grow this far north too well, but I've seen a few and the bark looks like a decent match.
The grain in the split does really have that maple figuring. Looks a little more like sugar maple than red. Especially since the OP had to struggle to split it.
I'll get some more pics of the wood pile over the weekend.
maple I think from the split pictures the bark is off though.
