Another thought: A lot of hockey players are golfers (the Flames are going to get a lot more golf in this year). Do most of them also golf left-handed?

Just my 2 cents, but I think playmaking is easier with more control on the top of the stick, and power comes from lower.
Best goal scorers and one timers are right handed. Best passers and wrist shots are lefties.
I also think right handed is dying out because the more left handed shooters/sticks equals more kids grabbing a left stick for their first time.
Same reason why the average in the world of left golfers is around 5% and in Canada is 20%.
Again this is just my own personal thoughts.
