I'm righthanded in everything else but use a lefty stick.
But I get it -- it's the hand that guides the lever, not the pivot, as with baseball.Cornell University

If your left hand is low on the stick the shot is coming from your left hand side --> left handed or left shot.
I'm right handed for most things but when I have one hand on the hockey stick, like poke check, it's the non-dominant hand (because I shoot hockey right handed).The preceding post may contain trigger words and is not safe-space approved. <-- Virtue signaling.

I actually had this hockey stick debate with my boss a couple months back when we were discussing right/left handed-ness. I mentioned how hockey players are usually opposite their dominant hand and he was adamant that he was right handed at *everything* including hockey.
So I explained that the little I played, I was a RH shot, with the stick on the right side of my body and blade curved to the left. He argued that I was a LH and he, who shot opposite me meaning the stick was on his left side and blade curved right, was RH.
I explained that I was taught by an NCAA D1 coach, so I hoped the coach knew what he was talking about.
It wasn't until he looked up a sporting goods store in the internet when he realized he was really a LH shot in hockey.“Demolish the bridges behind you… then there is no choice but to build again.”
