I just wanted to say that the side a player shoots from doesn’t mean that’s their dominant hand. I saw ur EYNTKs & noticed that’s what u had written. It’s interesting because Americans primarily give a rightie a “rightie stick” but most international players r taught to put their dominant hand at the top for better control & to catch the puck w the other kind of like baseball. Example: matt tkachuk signs things with his right but shoots left. Anyway I️ love ur EYNTKs and I’d love to see more!:)
This is some intense information that I did not know and just realized I’m right handed and shoot left and for some reason that never clicked???????
Thank you so much!! I’ll definitely change them to (Shoots left/right) ❤️❤️❤️
Edit: I fixed them! ♥♥♥
