Left handed hockey players may find it easier to control the ball on the off side, but this is not always the case. Some left handed hockey players still have difficulty on the left side playing hockey.

If your left hand is the lower hand on an ice hockey stick is the stick considered to be left or right handed?

Our plant produces about 30% left to 70% right for forward sticks. However, almost all goalies play left, no matter which-handed they are.
