There will be tears in my Sunday Gravy.
I got the heartbreaking but expected news tonight that Chip Malafronte passed. Chip was a great sports columnist for Hearst, a wonderful dad and a special person who cared about everyone. He will be missed dearly around Yale events.— Steve Conn (@YaleSID) August 13, 2020
I didn’t know him well and we didn’t stay in touch after I left @USCHO, but I sincerely enjoyed chatting up @nhregister’s Chip Malafronte every chance I got. He was always a friendly, dry, easy-going presence in the press box, and the world is worse for his absence. RIP Chip.

So sad over seeing the news that Chip Malafronte has passed. From 2013-17, as a recent Quinnipiac grad, I covered college hockey for the Rep-Am as the Bobcats became prominent. Chip had been on the beat for years but couldn’t have been more welcoming to the new guy at the rink.

Just seeing the news about Chip Malafronte & I am HEARTBROKEN. Chip was my idol while I was at QU. He is why I wanted to be a reporter. He would sit in the press box at QU games, see my tweets, laugh and look over to me and shake his head. We ended up friends.

So very sad to hear of the passing of Chip Malafronte. Not only was Chip great at what he did, he made everyone feel comfortable around him. Such a great person. Gone too soon. RIP my friend.

This sucks and it’s sad. Im having trouble putting it into words, but he was a treasure to Connecticut sportswriting, and hugely important for fans of Yale, QU and local sports back home. Most importantly, he was a great guy. RIP @ChipMalafronte, we’re going to miss you man.

Sad news for sure hearing about the passing of Chip Malafronte. He was a tremendous guy. Always got the story right, always about the sport or athlete. Never about himself. Rest easy my friend, you will be missed. To JP, your dad was great. Always know that.

Heartbroken to hear that my friend and colleague at the New Haven Register, Chip Malafronte, has passed away after a long illness. A good guy I shared many a press box or field with.
— Dave Phillips (@davephillips41) August 13, 2020
Favorite Chip Malafronte story. We both played in same amateur baseball league and happened to play each other in semifinals. Was decided that loser would cover the final for @nhregister. Chip’s team won.

Woke up this morning to see the very sad news Chip Malafronte has passed away. Chip was not only a great sports writer but a tremendous person. I always enjoyed our talks when he would visit the FLAC.
Gone way too soon! RIP Chip!— Bob Rafferty (@Raff1575) August 13, 2020
Crushing news about Chip Malafronte. An excellent reporter and also just a great guy to share a press box and watch a game with.
— Drew Kingsley (@dmk1122) August 13, 2020
Chip Malafronte was extremely kind. He had a great demeanor in person, and his columns had a huge presence on the page. When Matt and I were in journalism, there was one writer our mother read more often than her own sons. It was Chip.
— Colin McDonough (@McDTwin2) August 13, 2020
Seeing the news now of Chip Malafronte’s passing. This is terrible and sad. Chip was such a great guy and it was a real honor to have known him and work alongside him on the UConn football beat. He was a good writer and an even better person who was devoted to his family.
— Joe Perez (@JoePerezSports) August 13, 2020
Thoughts and prayers to the family and colleagues of Chip Malafronte. Over the course of almost 25 years, enjoyed our conversations on many topics. One of the good ones and will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him!

The journalism and sports scene in our area is less today after the death last night of @ChipMalafronte of the @nhregister. Chip loved hockey, covered @QUAthletics, wrote a book on QU-Yale and did both with professionalism and flair. Sunday gravy will never be the same. #RIPChip pic.twitter.com/IvW9jPnjML

Our CT sportswriters/media are a passionate, dedicated group. As a young pro many helped me along the way, answered questions and even learned with me as we grew up together. Chip Malafronte was one of those. I’m saddened by his death and heartbroken for his family. RIP, Chip.

Sad to hear about the passing of my former @nhregister colleague Chip Malafronte, who never had a bad word for anybody, and it’s touching to see that everybody he met along the way only has great things to say about him. A stand-up guy.

Really sad to see Chip Malafronte has passed. First time I met him at Cheel he was funny as we discussed whether he looked more like Ray Romano or Andy Pettite. When I started covering Clarkson and SLU I jokingly said I was the northern Chip. Great guy
— Cap Carey (@CapCareyWDT) August 13, 2020

Saddened to learn Chip Malafronte, longtime New Haven Register/Hearst sports reporter, has passed. He covered college hockey during a fascinating time for the sport in our state, and so much else over the years. Heartsick for his family, co-workers and his many, many friends. pic.twitter.com/9E5hlET6bi
— Mike Anthony (@ManthonyCourant) August 13, 2020
Very saddened to have woken up to the news that @ChipMalafronte has lost his battle. Tremendous loss for Hearst and, specifically, the Yale men’s hockey and men’s lacrosse beats. Known Chip for awhile – an Amity guy who had made it locally, something to draw from. Rest easy.
— Matt Gad (@RealMattGad) August 13, 2020
Wow, sad to hear about the passing of Chip Malafronte. Loved reading his stories on Yale hockey over the years. He will he missed.

Sorry to hear this morning about the passing of @ChipMalafronte, a longtime #ECACHockey sportswriter who was one of the earliest additions to my “gamenight” Twitter list.

Chip Malafronte did his job without bias, without fanfare and without ego. It is not easy to do that day in and day out in this business and maintain a calm exterior, but he managed to do it. You also won’t find many nicer human beings than Chip Malafronte. RIP.
