Good puck handling is actually controlled by the movement of the hand on the butt of the stick, the lower hand serves primarily as a stabilizer for the actions of the right hand. Since the dominant hand develops more dexterity and fine motor control, most of the time those holding the stick with the dominant hand at the top exhibit more high end control. I am sure there are many exceptions, but this thinking drives much of this phenomenon, plus experience tells me kids initially grab the top of the stick with their dominant hand and that comfort starts the process.
