Hershey Bears forward Pierrick Dubé received a five-game suspension for physical abuse of an official after being ejected for roughing during a game.
The incident that led to Dubé's suspension occurred after he expressed frustration over a missed slashing call before making contact with an official.
Although Dubé faced the most serious on-ice infraction, the AHL's Player Safety Committee classified his actions as not intended to injure.
AHL rules outline specific penalties for abuse of officials, with Dubé's violation categorized as a Category III automatic suspension.
