Need some hockey tips about left/right hand shooting

I don't have a ton of hockey experience, but ever since I remember picking up a stick, I've always felt comfortable shooting right.

I'm right dominated in everything. And I notice there's tons of right handed people that shoot left.

What I want to know is should I be using different hands for stick control and shooting? I'm still learning basics of hockey, cause I never had any formal training. I use my right hand for power in my wrist shots. I haven't perfected this yet, so I haven't spent too much time in snap and slap shots. Which if I'm correct, the power for harder shots like the slap shot comes from the upper hand (which would be my left), so I don't have much power. And I'm using my right hand as well to control my stick/puck. Is that the proper technique?

But basically, when I play hockey, I'm using my right hand for everything, and my left hand at top is really just there to support the stick...
