I'm just curious, is there actually a tactical advantage to playing a winger on the side opposite to his dominant hand?
I'm not an expert in hockey, especially when it comes to the more technical side. I know that in football (european kind) playing a winger on his non-dominant side will cause him to cut inside and could be an advantage when he actually tries to shoot or pass from this side.
But in hockey if I play a right-handed player on the left wing, is that actually a good thing, gives any bonus?
