Spitting on a ref only gets you one game? Pretty sure it’d be 10-20 in the NHL. At 1 game, kinda seems worth it tbh.

I truly don't know if it was spitting on the ref. It was reported that it looked like Dionicio did spit on the ref and was taken out of the game earlier in this thread. Maybe he was spitting Zegras level obscenities to the ref, such as "Your momma is a snowblower!" and, in the process, inadvertently spit out saliva onto the ref? The reasoning the AHL gave is similar to how the NHL reports injuries, with much vagueness.

From AHL.com:

The American Hockey League’s Player Safety Committee today announced that San Diego Gulls defenseman Rodwin Dionicio has been suspended for one (1) game as a consequence of his actions in a game vs. Calgary on Jan. 18.​
