I do wonder though if a left handed person who shoots right is more comfortable on the left side than a right handed person trying to do the same.
I'm as dominant right handed as you can be...I really struggle playing on the left side of the ice. But a lot of the left handed shooting guys who were right handed told me the opposite...they'd rather be on the right side as left handed shots.

Because if you’re on your off wing, Lh shot playing on the right side, you’ll be shooting from the inside vs a RH shot playing the right side where the puck would be further away and on the outside. The bigger issue though with playing your off wing, especially for a Dman is receiving the pass because you have to switch your stick or position yourself and that split second actually makes a difference.
