In Field Hockey, the use of different-handed sticks creates a danger scenario where two players of opposing teams wil end up colliding when both go for the ball, because their bodies are on the same side. This is a major safety problem, and is dealt with by simply removing the possiblity of it ever occurring.
In Ice Hockey, there is no such rule. Sticks are not particularly right- or left-handed, and players may use them on either side - some ambidextrous players might use it on both.

Only a very few goalies play right...probably fewer than 10% in professional hockey.

There are a lot of left-handed players in the world including internationals who play with regulation hockey sticks.

For example, the Indian dribble uses the left hand to turn the sticks face from left to right when dribbling.
