TORONTO -- Now the reflection and soul-searching begins for Jim Barker. Andre Durie scored two touchdowns and registered his first career 100-yard receiving game (eight catches, 144 yards) as the Toronto Argonauts ended a disappointing season with a 33-16 home win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Thursday night. Toronto (6-12) earned its first win over Hamilton (8-10) since Sept. 11, 2009 -- a streak of six straight losses -- and ended the year with two straight wins. But the Argos will finish last in the East Division and miss the playoffs for the third time in four years before a Rogers Centre gathering generously announced at 20,833 spectators. The Argos head into an important off-season -- Toronto hosts the 100th Grey Cup next year -- with plenty of questions, not the least of which is Barkers future with the CFL club. Barker has the dual role of head coach and GM and there has been persistent late-season talk Barker, the CFLs coach of the year in 2010, might have to eliminate one position from his business card this off-season. While Barker admits he still has a burning passion to coach, being the GM would give him much more job security and the flexibility to hand-pick his successor on the sidelines. "The GM will sit down with the head coach and well have a nice discussion about where hes at," Barker said. "But I can tell you this about our head coach: Hes going to do exactly what is in the best interests of this organization to win a Grey Cup and if it means hes back coaching then hell be back coaching and if it means hes not, then he wont. "That is what you have to understand: Its about winning and when everything is evaluated in the end and when everything comes down, you know what, I know what we need to do. I know what has to be done and I will do what needs to be done to get this franchise to where it needs to be." That is, after taking a well-deserved vacation, Barker added. Barker also praised Duries efforts after the game, something Durie sincerely appreciated. "It means a lot to me," Durie said. "He has been mentoring me into this position." Barker conceded the 2011 season was indeed a trying one for him, both professionally and personally. Ultimately a coach is judged by wins and losses and 6-12 simply isnt good enough. But Barker also had to cut ties this season with quarterback Cleo Lemon and defensive co-ordinator Chip Garber, both individuals he recruited. "It was a difficult year . . . just bizarre things that happened and it made it very difficult," Barker said. "But I honestly believe in every dark cloud there is a silver lining. "I believe I am a better man and coach for having gone through and maybe I needed to go through this. But I love coming to work every morning and the day I dont, I will step down or the day I believe there is somebody better in that position I will step down and manage the club. I love it (coaching), love game planning and all those things . . . but I dont need to coach. Again, Im going to look at it. Ive had both positions and Ill do whats best for the club." Durie and Cory Boyd saved their best for last, anchoring a solid fourth-quarter outburst after Hamilton rallied to tie the score 16-16. Duries 43-yard TD catch from Bell at 4:27 put Toronto ahead for good at 23-16 before Boyds six-yard run at 6:43 cemented the victory. It was set up Jasper Simmons interception return to the Hamilton 12-yard line. Boyd finished with 105 yards, his 11th career 100-yard game, tying him with Bill Symons for fourth-most in club history. "This sends a great message that we can finish," Boyd said. "Too bad it came at the end of the year but it shows we have character. "I wanted my teammates to finish this year strong and set the foundation for next year." Hamilton (8-10) had already clinched third in the East and will travel to either Montreal or Winnipeg for the conference semifinal next weekend. The Ticats used all three quarterbacks -- Kevin Glenn, Quinton Porter and Jason Boltus -- in the contest. "This game doesnt speak much for the playoffs," said Ticats head coach Marcel Bellefeuille. "We had two road games in five days so we kept everything vanilla. "We almost treated it like an exhibition." Glenn was the most efficient of Hamiltons quarterbacks, completing 14-of-19 passes for 150 yards. He took a philosophical approach to having played twice in five days. "The good thing about playing so close is getting more rest before we play the next one," he said. "The record doesnt really matter too much going into the playoffs, its about ranking." Dalton Bell took the majority of snaps for Toronto, replacing the injured Steven Jyles. Bell, slated to become a free agent this off-season, was 12-of-22 passing for 216 yards and two TDs but also had two interceptions. In 101 pass attempts this season, Bell surrendered 10 interceptions while throwing just three TD strikes. Toronto slotback Jeremaine Copeland became the 15th player in CFL history to surpass 10,000 all-time receiving yards with a 32-yard catch in the first. But the 11-year veteran finished the year with no TD receptions, a career first. Porter, who replaced Glenn to open the second half, pulled Hamilton into a 16-16 tie with a five-yard TD strike to Aaron Kelly at 2:42 of the fourth. Torontos Noel Prefontaine added three converts and four field goals. Hamiltons Justin Medlock booted three field goals and a convert. NOTES: Kick-returner Chad Owens (hip) was among Torontos scratches. He will finish the season 56 kickoff yards short of Ian Smarts league record of 1,805 set in 2008 with B.C. Hamiltons scratches were halfbacks Avon Cobourne and Marcus Thigpen, linebacker Renauld Williams and offensive lineman Jason Jimenez . . . Ticats general manager Bob OBillovich spent nine seasons as Torontos head coach (1982-90, 93), twice being named the CFLs top coach (1982, 87) and winning the 83 Grey Cup.

One moment she was on the ice taking a shot, the next she was lifting the Toronto Furies first Clarkson Cup. Smith scored in overtime Saturday as the Furies shut out the Boston Blades 1-0. She struggled to describe how it happened. "I honestly dont even remember how we got in their end," Smith said as she held back her emotion. "But the puck went from (Natalie) Spooner behind the net over to Prevo (Caroline Prevost), I saw some ice in front of me, skated ahead, got a perfect pass on the tape. I shot high-blocker and it just twirled in. "Once I saw it cross the line, hands in the air and that was it." The sixth Canadian womens hockey league championship was the first time Toronto (3-1) and Boston (3-1) met in the championship game and the only time the Furies qualified for the final in club history. Toronto was a surprise finalist after defeating the number-one ranked, three-time Clarkson Cup champion Montreal Stars on Friday in the round-robins lone shootout. The Blades were undefeated in the round robin with an impressive 3-0 record, allowing just four goals against in the entire tournament. The Boston-Toronto rivalry was in full effect as both teams fought hard to the finish. Spooner, who scored the shootout winner in Fridays victory over the number-one ranked Stars, was named the tournaments most valuable player. "This year couldnt really have been better for me," said Spooner. "Obviously nothing beats winning an Olympic gold medal but this is pretty sweet right now and I am really happy about it." Christina Kessler was named the tournaments most valuable player after performing stellar in net for the Furies with 25 saves against Boston following up Fridays sppectacular 34 save spectacle.dddddddddddd. "Kess is amazing," said Furies forward Alyssa Baldin. "It is great to have a goalie like Kessler behind you." Blades forwards Hilary Knight, Kate Buesser and Kelli Stack were offensive stars throughout the tournament. Knight, who scored four goals against Calgary on Friday, led the tournament with five goals while Buesser led with seven points. Boston has three members of Olympic silver medallist American team on its roster including Stack and Knight while Toronto has four members of gold-medal winning Canadian squad playing for the Furies, including Jennifer Wakefield, Tessa Bonhomme and Spooner. The Blades were 5-2 against Toronto during the regular season and in the second day of round-robin action Boston defeated Toronto 2-1 in its closest game of the tournament. The pace of the final was quick from the start. Boston had the majority of quality scoring chances in the first 20 minutes and forced Kessler to make nine first-period saves. After a scoreless two periods, both teams speed and goaltending was on full display in the third. Kessler was forced to make a breakaway, short-handed save robbing Knight while Toronto failed to capitalize on the power play as the game headed to overtime. A day after scoring four goals against Calgary, Knight failed to score for Boston against Toronto while Buesser was also kept scoreless. Buesser finished the tournament leading with three game winning goals. Boston goaltender Brittany Ott played fantastic for the Blades, making 25 saves in front of a sold out crowd.
