Is a hockey left wing usually a righty or a lefty?

Answer 1

A right handed shooter can play any position he or she wishes.

If he or she plays forward, the most common position is right wing or center.

If he or she plays defense, the most common position is right defence.

Answer 2

both, I'm a righty and i played both left wing and right wing.

Traditionally a left winger shoots left, however there are advantages to playing your "off wing". A right-handed shot carries his stick blade towards the middle of the ice when coming down the left wing. This creates a better angle when shooting on the net versus carrying your stick towards the boards like a left-handed shot would do. As a result, playing the off wing has become quite common.
