If I remember right there are a couple of small effects, like puckhandling ability at the point being slightly degraded for a defenceman playing the wrong side. But as we rewrite the engine for 7, I'm trying to make more use of handedness, e.g. giving players a tendency to prefer turning in a direction that puts them in a position to receive a pass on the forehand.
