Evan Dixon joined the Fighting Saints organization in the summer of 2019 as an assistant coach after coaching the previous two seasons at the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point. Prior to the 2022-23 season, Dixon was elevated to an associate head coach.

In his fourth season in Dubuque, Dixon was named a member of the 2022 Team USA World Junior A Challenge coaching staff where he helped guide the Americans to a Gold Medal.

Dixon was on the coaching staff of the first unbeaten season in Division III men's hockey as the Pointers captured the program's sixth national championship in 2018–19. Dixon coached a pair of All-Americans in Connor Ryckman and Tanner Karty. He helped to lead the Pointers to a program record 31-game unbeaten streak and the fewest goals allowed (46) in program history.

In his first season as an assistant, Dixon helped the Pointers reach the Frozen Four and saw Karty earn WIAC Player of the Year honors.

He captained the 2016 UWSP team that captured the fifth national title in program history. That season, he was an Elite 90 Award winner and the WIAC Max Sparger Scholar-Athlete. As a member of the UWSP team, he led the Pointers to three-consecutive NCAA Title games culminating with the national championship in 2016. 
 
Dixon skated in 117 games in a Pointer jersey over four seasons with 22 goals, 16 assists and 38 points. In his final three seasons at UWSP, Dixon was named to the WIAC All-Sportsmanship team. Following his senior season, Dixon went on to play professionally with the Fayetteville FireAntz of the Southern Professional Hockey League (SPHL). He scored seven goals and added 11 assists in 56 games in Fayetteville.
