Editing Ambidexterity (section)

===Hockey===
[[Ice hockey]] players may shoot from the left or right side of the body. For the most part, right-handed players shoot left and, likewise, most left-handed players shoot right as the player will often wield the stick one-handed. The dominant hand is typically placed on the top of the stick to allow for better stickhandling and control of the puck. [[Gordie Howe]] was one of few players capable of doing both, although this was at a time when the blade of the stick was not curved.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/16/sports/olympics/16lefty.html|title=Hockey Stick Divide: Canada Leans Left, U.S. Right|first=Jeff Z.|last=Klein|newspaper=The New York Times|date=16 February 2010}}</ref>

Another ice hockey goaltender [[Bill Durnan]], had the ability to catch the puck with either hand. He won the [[Vezina Trophy]], then for the [[National Hockey League]]'s goalie with the fewest goals allowed six times out of only seven seasons. He had developed this ability playing for church-league teams in Toronto and Montreal to make up for his poor lateral movement. He wore custom gloves that permitted him to hold his stick with either hand. Most goaltenders nowadays choose to catch with their non-dominant hand.

[[Field hockey]] players are forced to play right-handed. The rules of the game denote that the ball can only be struck with the flat side of the stick. Only one player, Laeeq Ahmed on the Pakistan National Hockey team, played with unorthodox left hand below and right hand up side of stick grip with full command. He played from 1991 to 1992 for the national team. Perhaps to avoid confusing referees, there are no left-handed sticks. In [[floorball]], like ice hockey, right-handed players shoot left and, likewise, most left-handed players shoot right as the player will often wield the stick one-handed. Floorball goalkeepers do not use a stick, so they have two glove hands, and act much like a soccer goalkeeper, but with an ice hockey helmet. When they venture out of the goal box, they act just like an outfield soccer player.
