Ryan is the son of former Pittsburgh Penguins forward Greg Malone and is the first Pittsburgh area native to play for the Penguins. Ryan's jersey number was #12 in tribute to his father Greg, who wore that number for Pittsburgh. Before the 2010–11 season, he relinquished his #12 jersey to Simon Gagne, and began wearing #6. Prior to Ryan signing with Tampa Bay in the 2008 off-season, the Lightning hired Greg as their head scout for professional talent. His cousin Brad Malone is also a professional hockey forward for the Colorado Avalanche.
Malone has two sons, William Ryan "Will" Malone and Cooper James Malone. He is also known for his many tattoos.

Famous quotes containing the word family:
“Some [adolescent] girls are depressed because they have lost their warm, open relationship with their parents. They have loved and been loved by people whom they now must betray to fit into peer culture. Furthermore, they are discouraged by peers from expressing sadness at the loss of family relationships—even to say they are sad is to admit weakness and dependency.”
—Mary Pipher (20th century)
“Public employment contributes neither to advantage nor happiness. It is but honorable exile from one’s family and affairs.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“Happy or unhappy, families are all mysterious. We have only to imagine how differently we would be described—and will be, after our deaths—by each of the family members who believe they know us.”
—Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
