Possibly, or maybe she just wanted him to develop some power, and not just slap the ball around all over the field.

I'm lefty. I do everything lefty except play hockey. When I was little some evil person forgot I was left handed and for my birthday got me my first hockey stick, but got a righty stick. I just learned to play with it. Now playing hockey lefty is extremely awkward for me and I can't do it.

Lol that's actually a pretty cool story on how you learned to hit righty.

My grandfather wrapped a rope around my body and had my right hand inside. He then made me hit left handed with only my left hand. It worked out OK, I hit for average well enough when I hit lefty, just not for power.

no she was a ***** and my parents found out and called the school to have a meeting and basically bitched her and the school out for it, but the school came up with some bs answer about how it's better for me to only choose one hand and yelled at my parents for teaching me at home because when I got to kindergarten I could already read, write, count, do math, and all that, but they were pissed they didn't get to teach me.
weird though, I used to throw with both hands but since then I only threw right handed, but my dad's the **** and taught me to be a switch hitter because he knew how sick it is...to bad I quit baseball in like 3rd grade :(

As a proud lefty myself it does really bother me when my mate at work leaves the mouse on the left hand side of the keyboard, or even worse switches the button config thingy. I mean come'on, no wonder right handed people hate us, use the computer like a normal person!!!
Writing and 'the all time number 1' are about the only things I do left handed in fairness (if you need to ask, you dont need to know).

Yeah, using your other hand for hockey isn't that odd. Hockey and lacrosse are the only things I do as a lefty.
And I got a nice laugh reminiscing about lefty scissors. What a joke.

I tried golf once. It wasn't pretty.
About hockey, I was playing NHL 2K8 a while back and I noticed during a fantasy draft like 9 of the 10 best players were left handed.
Is this merely coincidence?

Do not mistake coincidence for fate.
One day the lefties will rise up and conquer the globe.

None of them are really lefties. It's just the sweetest way to play hockey. This guy knows how it's done

The packaging is designed so that only a left-handed will know how to open them.

Inorder to avoid the smear, i turn my paper completely 90 degrees so the lines are perpendicular to me. And then I go about writing normally.
Still when writting fast and i forget to turn my book, it smears.
And my parents tried to force me into right handedness, when i was much younger.
