It's not just about handedness though.
Some people are left eye dominant and some are right eye dominant. I am left eye dominant, and even though I shoot left, I always preferred playing the right side because I saw the ice better.
I didn't have the backhand skills that Brodie has, but I was still more comfortable on the right side than the left.
I think that putting it all down to handedness, and saying that everyone is better on their 'natural side', and basing that only on which way they shoot, is too simplistic. It is probably right for the majority of players, but definitely not for all.
