I think it should be another foot higher, no more, no less. But some glass (or plexiglass or whatever) is really weak. One of my friends (hes 16) recently broke a piece of the stuff during a game. I mean, nobody is losing anything if the glass is higher. The puck will go out if its high enough anyways, so if you are intending to put it out of bounds, youre gonna do it.
It should at least be stronger and taller directly behind the goal and maybe around the curves in the board.

Although rare, spectators have been killed and seriously injured at hockey games, particularly in the low minor leagues and the amateur ranks where the glass is not as high around the rink.

Sounds a bit more plausible, but still shocking. And 3 of the 4 in the article were 13 and under. Only one 21year old.
