Oh, ok, then we're the same :)

Left handed for the fine motor tasks (write, eat, ...) and right hand dominant for the rest (throw, bat, ...)

I never played (ice) hockey, but I believe pure lefties tend to shoot right handed, and vice versa for righties (i.e. with dominant hand on the top).

That's interesting, I'd never noticed that the majority of hockey shots are with the blade to the left. One-handed things like clubs, rackets, paddles, and swords, I like them in my right hand while most right-handed writers seem to prefer the right hand. Makes sense. So being a right-handed thrower with a dominant left hand would be the last thing where we haven't a good explanation.
