Ochoa was fined for kicking the ball into the Loons' supporters' section after his team's 2-1 victory. Dotson and Gasper were fined for inciting and/or escalating a skirmish that followed between the teams.
Both teams were found in violation of the league's mass confrontation policy and each was issued a warning for its first violation.
Loons defender Michael Boxall called Ochoa "a little bit of a clown" for his behavior throughout the game.
"There's no need," Loons coach Adrian Heath said after the game. "He doesn't need to be blasting the ball into our supporters. Everybody knows that's a no-no. Normally when you use those antics he has done most of the evening, you're normally pretty good. That was a surprise to me."
Minnesota started only two strikers against Seattle, leaving Sang Bin Jeong and Joseph Rosales to provide the width behind Teemu Pukki and Kelvin Yeboah.
