I'm right-handed and always played hockey as a righty shot. Guess I'm the exception?
Because right-handed people shoot left and left-handed people shoot right, and whoever invented hockey totally got it backwards.
I'm the same. There are lots of exceptions. Only 10% of people are left-handed.I'm right-handed and always played hockey as a righty shot. Guess I'm the exception?
Europeans and Canadians tend to shoot left a lot more than U.S. born players. Nobody really knows why.
(Edit) and a little simple math: 89% of people are right handed and about 65-70% of NHL players shoot left regardless of what a thread/poll on HFB says.
A decent article on it: http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/hockey/righty-lefty-don-shooting-nhl-puck-article-1.2655568
85% of HF is going to be right-handed so this is a terrible sample.
Gordie Howe apparently used a straight blade and could shoot both ways.That article is exactly the sort of insight I was looking for. Awesome find, thank you!
Sorry for the OT, can move these posts wherever if it's too far off, but have there been any prominent "switch-hitters" in hockey?
Is it more important to watch the game or to PLAY the game?
I'm R/R
It's amazing so many people on here know how they shoot when I was told that 90% of HF DOESN'T EVEN WATCH THE GAME.
I'm right-handed and a lefty-shot, btw.
Which is your draw hand when you bow hunt?I don't play hockey because I can't skate. That being said, when I am fencing, I use a righthanded grip, but when I do karate, I primarily use my left hand when doing weapons work. So I guess I can do either?
But since I don't play hockey, feel free to disregard my comments around HF in the future

In Canada and Europe the dominant hand stays on top.
Bergeron is a true lefty, Babcock loves that in his line up.
I am so surprised that no one seems to know this...
Why is everyone surprised about the it being heavily left handed shots over right?
