Found this with google, I shortened it for readability.
Quote:
1.3 Boards and Glass - The rink shall be surrounded by a wall known as the “boards” which shall extend not less than forty inches (40'') and not more than forty-eight inches (48'') above the level of the ice surface. The ideal height of the boards above the ice surface shall be forty-two inches (42'').
Any variations from any of the foregoing dimensions shall require
official authorization by the League.
Affixed to the boards and extending vertically shall be approved safety glass extending eight feet (8’) above the boards at each end of the rink and not less than five feet (5’) along both sides of the rink.

Doesn't leave a lot of room for variation, as it's the ends that matter and I don't think there's that much variation in board heights. (Although they allow more variety than I would have imagined. I guess it's because the ice isn't always the same height.)
