I have been in hockey for over 30 years playing, coaching, referring,
and administering, and have been told that the player needs to experiment
to find out what is most comfortable. I look at it as a strngth thing. A
right handed person has a stronger right hand, therefore that should be at
the top of the stick, that is left in stick jargon. Whe I was growing
up in Western Canada right handed players were hard to find. Now in
Minnesota, lefties are hard to find, and many players cannot shoot very
well. Correlation  - maybe.
