Not Richler. I didn't do any journalism. I died about 3 years before him.
25 years before I died, I was made an officer of the Order of Canada. A quote from one of my more famous books was used in an opening speech for the last winter Olympics.

Who am I?
I am still alive - I was born in the 1920s.
I am one of the all time greats of my sport.
I played for three national teams.

Do you mean that you represented your country on a national basis three times? Or do you mean that you played on teams from three different countries?

Please forgive the ambiguity! One sport; three nations.

Not Thompson. I am still alive and my sport is not played on ice.

If anyone cares, the "Blond Arrow" played for Argentina, Columbia and Spain.
And LOL Newbie, no I wouldn't pick two Canucks in a row (although I'm tempted since you're teasing me lol).
Next up is a dead European male.
