Righty on RW. 1) More reach when driving wide, though it may be easier to protect the puck on your back hand, your reach is far greater on your forehand. When beating a defender wide you can maintain your reach and your speed when your stick is towards the boards. 2) The other advantage is passing. Your are petty much always making passes, advancing the puck, from the forehand rather then the backhand with your stick towards the boards.
