Rocky becomes the new sponsor of the ice hockey team, the Derby Devils, but his decision to rename the squad and kit them out with a brand-new strip before their big game with the Peterborough Piranhas doesn't really suit their macho image.

Further details

Elsewhere at the Derby Ice Bowl, Dennis is appalled when he learns Rocky is the new sponsor of the ice hockey team, the Derby Devils, and has decided to rename them!

Things go from bad to worse for Dennis before their big game with the Peterborough Piranhas when Rocky arrives with the new team strip which doesn't quite suit their macho image...
