The St. Croix River Hounds was a planned collegiate summer baseball team intended to play in the Northwoods League.[3] The team ownership group included former Major League Baseball players Tom Quinlan and Robb Quinlan.[4]

It was first reported in July 2017 that the team could begin play in the 2018 season.[5] In October 2017, that slipped to 2019;[6] in October 2018, to 2020;[7] and in October 2019, to 2021.[3] As of April 29, 2021, ballpark construction had not begun, but the team still expressed "the intention to begin the build this year."[8] In July 2022, a revised development plan was presented that would call for a 1,400 seat facility that could open as soon as June 2023.[9] The River Hounds were still not listed in the Northwoods League schedule for 2023.[10]

The team has since been removed from the Northwoods League website as a future club and the team's website now links back to the Northwoods League homepage.[11]
