First impressions are said to be the most important part of getting to know someone. Coach Ron Dowd  has made a promising impression as the new head coach of the boys hockey team at Walpole High School. The Rebels started the season off with a 3-0-1 record, a turnaround from last year’s 3-8-6 losing season.

Prior to Dowd accepting the job the Rebels had only won 13 games in three seasons.
