it’s amazing to me how few Canadian players shoot right while actually being right handed. It’s ridiculous.

Somebody did a study on this. Apparently it has to do with what sport you first play as an infant. In U.S.A. the first thing a little kid does is throw a baseball or football. This lets the dominant hand take over. In Canada it is usually a hockey stick playing shinny. For some reason the dominant hand goes to the top of the stick.

The study found that in the warm province of B.C., more kids start with baseball than the rest of Canada. So more right handed hockey players come from B.C.

Also Benning's dad apparently forced him to play right as a kid and now that's basically why he's in the NHL.
