Dixie played in the CJHL with the Brockville Braves, Gloucester Rangers and Smiths Falls Bears, winning league MVP honours with the Bears. Dixie was a .400 hitter for the Brockville Bunnies baseball team. He then starred in area fastball as an MVP with the Domville Aces, continuing to earn other MVP honours for overall play, hitting and pitching.
