No, and he would not have had to sit out RPI's next game this season had there
been one.  A game _misconduct_ means that the player sits out the rest of
that game only.  A game _disqualification_ means that the player sits out
the next game (or more, if he's had previous DQs in the same season).  And
as Kurt has already explained, these don't carry over to the next season.
