If approved, the club believes an astroturf games pitch at Cow Roast, Tring would put Dacorum and this corner of Hertfordshire on the hockey map.
Mr Mohindra said: "I really enjoyed meeting the team at Berkhamsted and Hemel Hempstead Hockey Club and having a tour of the facilities and listening to their plans for the future.
"The recent coronavirus pandemic has highlighted how important green space and exercise are to our communities. As the local MP I am looking forward to seeing sporting activity continue to grow for years to come.
"I believe Berkhamsted School have stopped playing hockey due to a lack of viable facilities – I’m hoping there might be an opportunity for the club and the school to find a mutually beneficial solution in the near future."
