The St. Croix River Hounds was a planned collegiate summer baseball team intended to play in the Northwoods League. The team ownership group included former Major League Baseball players Tom Quinlan and Robb Quinlan.
It was first reported in July 2017 that the team could begin play in the 2018 season. In October 2017, that slipped to 2019; in October 2018, to 2020; and in October 2019, to 2021. As of April 29, 2021[update], ballpark construction had not begun, but the team still expressed "the intention to begin the build this year." 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. The River Hounds were still not listed in the Northwoods League schedule for 2023.
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.
