The team was founded in 2012 as the Hartland Hounds based out of the Hartland Sports Center in Hartland Township, Michigan. The team relocated to Traverse City after the 2012-13 season despite winning the league championship and going 47-0-1 and sweeping the league playoffs. The team joined the United States Premier Hockey League along with the rest of the Midwest Junior Hockey League membership for the 2015-16 season. The league had originally announced a team to be based out of Traverse City (the Traverse City Cohos) for the league's inaugural season of 2012-13 but the team fell through and ended up becoming the Marquette Royales for the 2013-14 season.
