A professional ice hockey team located in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. They are the ECHL affiliates of the Lake Erie Monsters, and Syracuse Crunch of the AHL, and the Colorado Avalanche, and the Columbus Blue Jackets of the NHL.

A town of about 30,000 residents in southwest Pennsylvania 90 minutes east of Pittsburgh. Its claim to fame is the Johnstown Flood of 1889, in which more than 2,200 died--the deadliest disaster in the U.S. until 9/11. The people are very nice in Johnstown, PA, but the town is extraordinarily religious, maybe because there is not much to do other than go to church, bowling, or to a dive bar. Newcomers may find it difficult to break into the well established social groups, since most of the residents have known each other since childhood. It has quite a number of large cemeteries. The population is mostly white. There are very, very few sidewalks and limited public transportation in this very hilly town. Unemployment is a serious problem here and the average wage is almost unlivably low, but housing costs are low, too. The main sources of employment are health care, defense, telemarketing, and retail.

Similar to its neighbor, Gloversville, but with slightly less ugly appearance, Johnstown is one of the most pointless places to live. At a first glance, Johnstown seems like the nicest place on Earth but in reality there is absolutely nothing to do and 95% of the population consists of inbred hicks whose ancestors have lived here for hundreds of years. The remaining 5% of the population move there. The town, which has less than 10,000 people living in it, is littered with filthy scumbags, bad parenting, unbelievably high taxes, a "mall" with 5 shops and a movieplex, and of course, actual litter. No one bothers to clean it up, except for on the rail trail, where the trash reappears almost instantly. Several people have been killed on said rail trail, which runs through Johnstown and Gloversville. Your best luck at finding a job here is at Burger King or Dunkin' Donuts. Many people only stay here because it is "safer" than other nearby cities.

A college prank that probably has other names. Most commonly played in college dorms. The act of filling a trash can about halfway with water. Then you lean said trash can against a door. Knock on the door and run like hell. When the sucker goes to open the door, they get the onslaught of the water, going everywhere.

I call it the Johnstown Flood as I attend the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown, and the name fits perfectly, if you're familiar with the town's history

The worst 4 years to go to college. ABSOLUTELY nothing to do, with no parties, no social life, no academic life, no anything. Guys steal girls because there are an abundant amount of guys and a limited amount of girls.

A branch of University of Pittsburgh, this is the biggest mistake of anyone's life. Teachers are horrible, girls are hideous, guys are rednecks, and there is absolutely no future here.

The closest spot to hangout is literally Pittsburgh, Pa.

Don't forget to mention that if you don't hunt, fish, eat cabbage, like the Steelers, drink beer, go to bars to hook up, have an opinionated closed mind, ride an ATV and a motorcycle...you simply will not fit in in this town

Nickname for Johnstown, Pennsylvania, a dying former steel-mill town with no future whatsoever. The only thing Johnstown is relatively famous for is the disastrous flood of 1889 that killed over 2,200 people.
