The three-day raffle grossed $57,625 CAD ($41,327 USD) with net funds benefitting Montreal Canadiens Children’s Foundation. A winner of 50% of the jackpot was identified and chose to remain anonymous. The raffle, available to fans in-venue and online to all residents throughout the province of Quebec, was the first to be held during an MMA event at the arena.

“We were thrilled to partner with UFC for the 50/50 raffle at UFC 315,” said Geneviève Paquette, General Manager of the Montreal Canadiens Children’s Foundation. “Thanks to the generous support of UFC, the spectators, and a dedicated team of volunteers, these funds will help support vital programs for underprivileged youth. The Montreal Canadiens Children’s Foundation’s flagship BLEU BLANC BOUGE program continues to inspire thousands of children across Quebec, promoting healthy, active lifestyles.”

DULUTH —Duluth Marshall freshman Chloe Johnson was one of 52 players nationwide to be selected to participate in the 2025 USA Basketball Women’s U16 National Team trials in Colorado Springs, Colorado, beginning Wednesday.

The final 12-player roster will be announced on May 26, with the team competing in the FIBA U16 Women’s AmeriCup held June 16-22 in Irapuato, Mexico.

Johnson garnered 2025 DNT All-Area Player of the Year honors and picked up her second-career first-team All-State nomination this past season after averaging 28.9 points per game and 6.5 assists while shooting 57% from the field. Defensively, she averaged four steals and one block per outing.

In three seasons at the varsity level, the 6-foot guard has already eclipsed the 2,000-point mark.

Johnson was one of 26 players from the class of 2028 to be invited to the tryouts and one of only three from Minnesota, as she’s joined by 6-foot-1 Minnetonka forward Arianna Peterson and 6-foot-4 center Logan Miller of Andover.

Johnson is currently competing for the All Iowa Attack 17U team of the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League (EYBL) against the nation’s top players. She’s averaging 8.6 points and 3.6 assists through five games.

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of “staff.” Often, the “staff” byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
