The Team
History:
Rapp Rapp City Mitch is new on the scene for 2012. Previously three
members (Zack Morris, Matt Rapp and Mitch Lewis) belonged to another
intramural team (Dogs in a Bathtub). 2012 Slippery Rock graduate Eric
Brantner ran this team. Dogs in a Bathtub had been in Slippery Rocks
intramural floor and roller hockey leagues since 2003 with a rich history
of winning. Winning the championships in both in 2005, 2008, and
2010 seasons. Upon Brantners departure of Slippery Rock University,
Matt Rapp decided to take the team into his hands, along with current
teammate Mitch Lewis, they came together to form Rapp Rapp City
Mitch. What does this mean? Rapp Rapp City Mitch is a parody based
off a rapper named Tyga and his song Rack City. This is Rapp Rapp
City Mitchs first season in the intramural floor league adding many new
players to the roster for 2012 season.

team. Lastly, Zach Rapp is the final new member to the 2012 roster. Zach,
now a freshman at Slippery Rock University brings with him his fast speed
with the ability to dangle through the defenseman. Zach, Matts brother
has played hockey his entire life. Although he is smaller in size, he is a
huge threat on the rink. Zach currently plays hockey for the Slippery Rock
D2 Tier 2 team, with the hopes of making it into the World Juniors for
roller hockey.
By adding this core of greatly talented players, Rapp City Mitch had
a very strong year. They made it into the playoffs finishing the regular
season at 5-1 with an average of 8.0 goals per game. Goalie Connor

DeAugustine posted a 5-2

record, which is astounding
for someone so new to the
sport. However, after being
upset in their last regular
season game, losing 9-2
to Stars and Snipes they
needed to pick themselves
up for the playoffs. In their
first playoff game against
Ice Level with Pierre they
came out firing. Sophomores Zack Morris and Taylor Shea both put up
three goals within the first three minutes of the game. Thus, dealing a
huge blow to the other team. This would become a repeating pattern as
Rapp Rapp City Mitch began to pull ahead. After three solid periods of
hockey Rapp Rapp City Mitch was moving on to the next round, beating
Ice Level with Pierre 9-2.
Next round was the chance to get into the intramural finals for the first
time in their first year. Rapp Rapp City Mitch would be playing the Crank
Yankers. The game was back and forth the whole way. Rapp Rapp City
Mitch was hindered with injury problems sustained from the previous
game against Ice Level with Pierre. Sophomore and leading point getter
Zack Morris had sprained his ankle and was unable to play against the
Crank Yankers. In addition, sophomore Taylor Shea injured his wrist by
lying down to block a shot in front of the net. With a bad bruise and a
swollen wrist Taylor was out as well. By having two of their best players
out for this huge playoff game Rapp Rapp City Mitch
was reeling. The game however was very close. The
7
action continued back and forth and was led by none
other than the two cofounders of the team Matt Rapp
and Mitch Lewis. The two of them put up 9 shots in

the first period alone. By the end of the first period it was a 5-5 game.
During the second period, due to the lack of subs Rapp Rapp City Mitch
was getting tired. Penalties began setting in, and the Crank Yankers were
capitalizing. Scoring two powerplay goals in the period they had the lead
over Rapp Rapp City Mitch 8-5 going into the third period. However,
Rapp Rapp City Mitch was not done. Quickly scoring two goals from
Mitch Lewis and Sean Simpson put them right back in the game, making
it 7-7. It appeared as though they would comeback. However, the Crank
Yankers with just 18 scored a fluke goal as the ball was batted in to the
net by a glove, past goaltender Connor DeAugustine, giving the Crank
Yankers an 8-7 lead, and an 8-7 win.
Despite the loss Rapp Rapp City Mitch did not hold their heads, as they
knew their task was great. For coming into this game, two men down
against a great team they played very solid. Led by their cofounders
and co-captains Matt Rapp and Mitch Lewis, this proved to be a very
successful first season for Rapp Rapp City Mitch. With the 2012 intramural
floor hockey season in the books, they now look onward to roller hockey
season. Rapp Rapp City Mitch will go into the roller hockey season with
the exact same roster, and look to win their first championship as a team.
Overall, the 2012 inaugural season of Rapp Rapp City Mitch proved to be
a huge success, as they continue to build, grow and develop as team to
make a run at the Slippery Rock intramural championship.
