almost every player in the NHL shoots lefty?? I usually don't watch hockey but I have to admit the playoffs have been pretty good this year. It dawned on me watching that virtually EVERYONE shoots their slaps lefty........why??
 
The Philly/ Pitts series was some good hockey. I didn't notice the lefty thing though
You're part Canadian now, it's the law to watch hockey
 
Most goalies are righties, catching with their left glove. I believe it gives them a shooting (location/angle) advantage

I might be wrong, but as a former goalie that would be my guess.

as a lefty though, wouldn't your shot naturally tend to drift to your left? Right into a right handed goaltenders glove hand?

I think it's compensation for an overpowering dominant arm. I'm the same way, and swing a golf club, baseball bat, hockey stick, etc. lefty. I also ride left foot forward snowboarding/skateboarding.
